American consumers spend billions every year to learn what the American Medical Association just told the world yesterday, for free: that hormone therapy cannot halt the human aging process. Or at least that they’ve found no scientific evidence to prove it.This figures to be a setback for BodyLogicMD, the Boca…
On the agenda for tonight’s meeting of the Deerfield Beach City Commission, under the heading “Written Requests,” there looms an ominous entry: Chaz Stevens will address the city’s elected leaders on “myriad topics.” Among the myriad topics posted recently on Stevens’ blog, Acts of Sedition, there’s a densely technical critique…
That South Florida is among the plastic surgery capitals of the world can be depressing, so it bears mentioning when our local surgeons apply their skills for more than just a patient’s narcissism. Like in this month’s edition of Glamour magazine, which has a tear-jerking cover story about 20-something triplets…
Seriously, does that not look like a room in a castle where one might expect to see a French dauphin fanning himself? And in this economy, who else but royalty can afford the $13.5 million asking price for the Dolphin legend’s Weston home?Last week, the Wall Street Journal and a…
I hope the people behind the April 27 Free Speech Summit in Boca Raton were watching this weekend’s protests in Tehran. Being free with speech in that Iranian city means risking a police baton to the chops, or worse. These were Muslims — thousands upon thousands of them — bravely…
For the past month, the North Broward Hospital District has been wrestling with two seemingly unrelated scandals: the corruption investigation of Commissioner Joseph Cobo and the sudden firing of the district’s general counsel, Marc Goldstone, and his lieutenant, Joe Truhe.But it seems inevitable that these two stories will merge. The…
For the new U.S. attorney, who will come from among the 16 names on this list, busting financial fraud will be the top priority in South Florida federal courts. And although those cases are endlessly complex, it’s fairly simple to get an overview of the region’s candidates for criminal prosecution:…
Sylvia Poitier should have known she was being watched. If not by criminal investigators, then at least by the guy in Deerfield Beach who tends to show them the way. “Mark this day — mark this day well” is the characteristically immodest headline for yesterday’s blog post that contains Chaz…
It was the kind of sloppy political sabotage you’d expect in a banana republic. But hey, we’re talking about Deerfield Beach. So we shouldn’t be surprised that the punishment for Thomas Noland is roughly equivalent to the kind you’d expect for a prince in a corrupt kingdom: a fine of…
The biggest news in the world’s biggest sport is that international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, of Manchester United, has been sold to Real Madrid for a stunning $131 million. The architect of this blockbuster may have a South Florida address. Financial tycoon Malcolm Glazer of Palm Beach is the majority…
It’s strange to be astonished at the news that this county’s mayor actually gave an interview, but so it goes in Broward. Stacy Ritter has been refusing interviews with reporters for much of 2009, in vain hopes that she can keep her associations with con man Joel Steinger out of…
On a day when sister cities are in the news, a cautionary tale comes to us from Wellington. Not the city in Palm Beach County, mind you, but the one in New Zealand.It’s a short story, but vivid. A man was streaking. Until he was hit by a bus. To…
Take heart, fellow heat prisoners of South Florida. Whatever dread you may feel during this, the first blistering hot spell in what’s sure to be a merciless summer, at least you have not committed to a subculture of black, of leather, of melting mascara, or to the other sweltering accouterments…
Embedded video from CNN Video The big story of the day is this afternoon’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., that claimed the life of a security guard and left the shooter, who had ties to the white supremacist movement, wounded.South Florida has its own Holocaust…
Deven Marrero is a shortstop from Davie who goes to American Heritage High School. He looked like the Broward player most likely to be picked on the first day in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, which had its first three rounds last night. But Marrero didn’t hear his name…
Sixteen lawyers have applied for the job of being the next U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, responsible for prosecuting all federal crimes from Palm Beach County south. Here’s the list, which was released this morning by the Florida Federal Judicial Nominating Commission:David M. Buckner, from Kozyak Tropin…
Republicans like Newt Gingrich are pretty sure that Sonia Sotomayor is racist against white men, but just to make sure, the U.S. Senate’s only Hispanic Republican, Mel Martinez, went in for a closer look. As you can see in the video above, the Florida senator exchanged some awkward Spanish with…
Here’s a quandary: What do you do if you announce your candidacy for higher office, but nobody reports it? (Or at least nobody besides Juice?) If you’re Bob Smith, former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire now semi-retired in Sarasota, you sorta pretend you never made the first announcement, then… make…
For people like Stephan Cleveland who are trying sublet a condo, the weekend is prime time for prospective tenants to come calling. Which is why he was mighty peeved when on Friday afternoon, he discovered a pile of busted car parts on the grassy swale in front of his condo…
You’ll have to pardon Florida’s Democratic voters if they’re not as eager about the attorney general’s race as Dan Gelber is. The state senator from Miami Beach announced his candidacy for attorney general yesterday. It followed the announced candidacy of another up-and-coming Democrat, Dave Aronberg, the state senator from Greenacres…
On the right, that’s Corrine Brown, the Democratic congresswoman from Jacksonville considering a bid for U.S. Senate against Kendrick Meek. Here at Juice, we’re worried she’s going to realize it’s an absurd idea, then disappear again. So for now, we’re going to bask in her relevance. Above, a funny video…
